11/16

[Fish24/7]

Dropped in at the Theodosia ramp around 7. Had a limit of crappie on jigs before the wind picked up around 1030-11 ish and it was not fun anymore trying to make a long cast to keep from spooking the fish  and feel a 3/32 jig in brush ,the wind would just drag the  jig and nano line into snags. Had 15, good enough. Nice white crappie up to 13-14"  in 6-10 fow. 

  Switched to bass fishing with crankbaits and it was better than I expected ,no clouds and shallow bass fishing on Bull can be difficult at times, but the wind was key and had the plankton and shad shallow. All the bass we caught were 4' deep or less. All largemouth.  No Giants but we measured and threw back 16 keepers in the 2-2 3/4lb size and  had about that many short fish too.     We tried five colors of the same crankbait, blue and chrome was the only color we got bit on. Red hooks also got more bites vs. black nickel

WT was 52-55.

Boat ramp was way busier than usual for a Tuesday afternoon. Lots of bass boats . I think I counted fourteen rigs parked there at one time or another.   We even had the typical drive by waypoint creeps . The ones who make a point to shut down before they get to you , then idle bye within 30' of our boat , mark a waypoint and  then take off on plane again  😆

Thanks for the report, i was going to come down but i chickened out due to the wind prediction.  There is a big qualifier on Bull today for the US Open tourney on Table Rock. I think they said like 250 boats out of Diamond City today

Weigh in here on the FB page.  So far the leader has a bit over 14 lbs.  No way I am hanging in there to watch the whole thing.
